This is not our favorite Red Beans and Rice recipe, but it is great because it's a Cooking Light recipe and easy for those Sundays when you want lunch to be ready when you get home.
3 c. water
1 c. dried red kidney beans
1 c. chopped onion
1 c. chopped green bell pepper
3/4 c. chopped celery
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp ground red pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 (14 oz) package Conecuh sausage (or smoked sausage of choice)
1 bay leaf
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups hot cooked long-grain rice (we love Jasmine rice)
1/4 c. chopped green onion
Combine first 12 ingredients in an electric slow cooker. Cover with lid; cook on high-heat setting for 5 hours. Discard bay leaf; stir in salt. Serve over rice; sprinkle with green onions.
Yield: 4 servings (1 c. bean mixture, 3/4 c. rice and 1 TB green onions)
Family Recipe Collection
What's This About?
Food is such a wonderful thing! Not only does it sustain us, but it enriches our lives. How many times have you tasted a dish and it takes you back to another time and place-- one filled with cherished memories? How many times have you tried to recreate those memorable dishes to find that you can't remember all the ingredients or how they are suppose to intermingle?
This is a food project for my family. My intention is to shorten the distance between us all and share in making memories together. I want us all to add tried and true recipes from past and present generations. Please feel free to add any stories or thoughts to these recipes, too.
When this project is near completion, I hope to have a marvelous collection of recipes that bring us closer together as a family. We'll have an heirloom cookbook of recipes and stories we can pass onto future generations.
